I finally managed to do this. I did put the SSD into another system, formatted it, and transferred some files to it. It definitely works. Astonishingly, now I can see these files on the drive in the "Browse for folder" window on an newly created module, when I come to the part where I am supposed to install the drivers for the SSD installer supposedly does not see... Now is definitely a moment to start puling hair I think, or... 1) Yes, drive is also visible from pre-installed Windows 10 managed by my corporation 2) I wonder that to... Or perhaps even a hardware switch somewhere on the board? 3) Win 11 installer does not see the original Kioxia drive either I don't know how to do this? I did try all 3 options for the storage mode, none of them works. What I also tried is: - Updated BIOS to 1.8.0 - Removed Dell provided drive - Placed my new drive in a new slot... - Went trough all of BIOS options again, trying to find anything that would stop OS from installing... Now I am absolutely out of ideas

Drive is brand new 🙂 I can't access it from the already installed Win 10 since I don't have admin rights there... And I'm all out of place to put it in any other PC/laptop that is handy...

Thanks for the feedback in relation to your experience. In short: - There is most likely some security feature that I missed, judging by not being able to boot past the POST screen at all with any flash drive attached. However I went point by point in BIOS, and could not find it. I saw and ticked the option to boot from SD card, Which I am using. - WD does not have drivers on their website 😞 - Drive is perfectly visible in BIOS; so I reckon that at least it should be visible to the OS installer, even if it is not 100% working. - I tried to follow instructions from this video, as I have exact same issue, but no luck: - My Laptop came from my employer. Don't know, maybe they changed it... Anyway, I have attached some photos. Hoping someone will take several minutes to check them, and let me know if I missed anything. Cheers all!

Thanks Aaron, Just tried with the Dell drivers from the page: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-si/product-support/servicetag/0-ZVhHaWdQdkVrYm1uUk1Qd3FKM1liZz090/drivers I Downloaded "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver and Application", and extracted it to the flash drive (19.2.1.1006, A02). But the installation wizard does not recognise them. When I click "hide drivers of unsupported hardware", I do not get any to select. When I untick it, I get 3 files. Tried to install all 3, they failed. AHCI/NVMe was already selected in BIOS. But I tried all 3 options available - no luck. If anyone managed to get Windows 11 installed, I would appreciate a link to the appropriate drivers.

Hi all Can someone enlighten me how to install Windows 11 on my 7770? I want to make a dual boot system - one for work, and another for myself. -Just bought WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe, put it in slot 0, instead of Kioxia supplied drive, which I moved to slot 1, from which Laptop boots OK. I disabled that slot as to not f*** up my work OS - WD drive is visible from BIOS, all is good there. - Downloaded Media creation tool from MS, created bootable USB. However, when I put it into any of the USB Slots, and press either F2 or F12, I cant get either get into boot menu or the BIOS. It gets either stuck, or constantly reboots. Removing the flash drive restores access. I installed OS from the same flash drive 3 days ago, so it is working as it should. - Next i tried creating image on the SD card, from which I am able to boot (selected that option in the BIOS), and start installation... But I get only until the step where I would need to choose the SSD on which to install. Annoyingly, it is not visible there. Setup asks for drivers at the "select the driver to install" menu. - I dug a bit, and it seems that intel rapid storage drivers are needed. Downloaded those from Intel website, put them on the flash drive, tried to install them - no luck. They do not seem to be compatible. When selected, it tries to install them, no luck. - Then I made a bootable recovery on the same card using Dell's OS Recovery Tool. Managed to boot and got to the screen when it says it will restart after I make my choice, but next button is grayed out... I'm guessing it does not see the OS that needs repairing - I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help? I'm desperate 🤬 Preferably I would like a clean install without Dell bloatware. Thanks in advance

Hi all. Does 7770 come with an option to have access to M.2 slots via separate door/compartment, or do we have to take out entire backplate in order to access it? Does removing the backplate to install SSD voids Warranty? As far as I know, this should be illegal in the EU? Are there any anti-tamper triggers? Thanks for letting me know 😉 !

Hi all Is 4k 120Hz on 7770 OLED? I see people mentioning OLED here, but the DE website says WLED... Thanks

Thanks! Another question - if we opt for 3080Ti, is the HDMI 2.1 full 48Gbps?

Hello there, I see that there is no 3080Ti option in the Dell Germany configurator. Any reason why would this be the case?
